Program & Event Policies

Our classes offer an intimate, exceptional learning experience in an inspiring setting with locally and nationally recognized artists and educators. The Cultural Center provides multi-faceted curriculum from novice to advanced levels, and it extends maximum accessibility in a broad range of programs that strive to develop the individual's artistic interests and abilities.

In addition to our exceptional on-site programming, we offer a wide scope of educational opportunities for underserved communities throughout the beaches and St. Johns County. Our center’s outreach efforts are targeted at reaching underserved children and adults by bringing high-quality arts education and artistic experiences to community centers, rehabilitation centers, and special needs schools.

Please note that no student’s space will be held without FULL PAYMENT of class tuition.

Credit card payments (VISA, AX, MC, DISC) are accepted and are automatically deposited and cannot be used to hold a space until cash or check payments are delivered.

Registrations are accepted via the website or phone with a credit card. You may register in person at the Cultural Center’s registration office Monday through Friday from 10am-4pm.

A $10 transfer fee is assessed for each transferred registration, per person.

ADULT WORKSHOPS

Master artist workshop participants have the option to make a $50 deposit to hold their spot. Deposits are non-refundable. Deposits can only be made by phone or in the office. Payment for the remainder of workshop tuition will be scheduled to automatically process 60 days prior to the workshop. It is the student's responsibility to amend payment method or withdraw from workshop/cancel payment before 60 days prior to the workshop.

CANCELLATIONS

The Cultural Center reserves the right to cancel any class, workshop, event, or camp due to insufficient enrollment or inclement weather. Full refunds are issued for any class, workshop, event, or camp canceled by the Cultural Center.

We make every effort to notify patrons of postponements and cancellations at least 24 hours before the first scheduled class.

Dates and times are subject to change as necessary.

The Cultural Center may elect to postpone any class, workshop, event, or camp in order to accept additional registrations to meet minimum enrollment requirements.

REFUNDS & TRANSFERS

Due to limited space and scheduling we are unable to offer refunds, effective July 1, 2018.

No transfers will be processed for requests made less than 14 days prior to any class, workshop, event, or camp.

To transfer from a class, workshop, event, or camp and reapply original payment, requests must be made 14 days prior to the original program. The $10 transfer fee will be deducted from all transfers. The participant will need to pay any difference in price in order to reserve a space in the new class, workshop, event, or camp. Transfers may also be applied to membership fees.

Make-up classes are available for classes canceled by the Center but are not available for missed classes.

For those who travel frequently, we have added a drop-in program for a selected number of classes, call 904-280-0614 x1206 for more information.

YOUTH ARTS CAMPS & CLASSES POLICIES

We do not provide supervision of children before or after classes or camps. We ask that you arrive promptly to all programs and do not leave children unattended.

No supervised aftercare is offered - a late fee of $1 per minute will be assessed to families picking up late.

The Cultural Center reserves the right to substitute instructors when necessary.

The Cultural Center designs class curriculum for specific age ranges. We kindly request that age limits be respected.

The Cultural Center reserves the right to withdraw a child for inappropriate behavior or falsifying registration information (age, medical information, etc). No refunds will be given for withdrawals.

The Cultural Center is a "NUT-FREE" CAMPUS. Children participating in arts camps and workshops must have "nut-free" snacks and lunches for the safety of fellow campers with food allergies.

Youth Arts participants are required to wear closed-toe shoes and are recommended to dress-for-mess. The Cultural Center will not replace stained clothing or shoes.
